    Such interesting books. The Dirty Dancing book sounds so good. I trust your choice in books. Enjoy your nature shots. They are interesting and I miss Maine. The artificial silk girl is 2 books down on my stack of books. I found it tucked in the back of shelf whilest purging books from my library.

    Lovely landscapes in your video! I've read one book by Irmgard Keun and it was not very memorable except that I wasn't crazy about her writing style.
    I listened to an audiobook last year about a female scientist from the late 18th and early 19th century that I would recommend. It is called The Lady and the Octopus by Danna Staaf. Jeanne Villepreux-Power wasn't a trained scientist, but she invented the aquarium and studied Argonaut octopuses. The audio is short and seems like it is for younger readers, but I found it fascinating.
